Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 pound (454 grams) beef steak, thinly sliced
  • 12 ounces (340 grams) cheese tortellini
  • 1 cup (240 milliliters) provolone cheese, shredded

Vegetables:

  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

Seasonings and Liquids:

  • 1 cup (240 milliliters) heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare tortellini according to package guidelines, ensuring al dente texture. Drain and reserve.
  2. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until butter melts and becomes fragrant.
  3. Sauté sliced onions, bell peppers, and minced garlic for 4-5 minutes until vegetables soften and develop light caramelization.
  4. Add thinly sliced steak to the skillet, cooking rapidly until edges turn golden brown and meat reaches medium doneness.
  5. Season meat mixture with salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce, stirring to distribute flavors evenly.
  6. In a separate saucepan, warm heavy cream over medium-low heat, gradually whisking in shredded provolone until sauce becomes smooth and velvety.
  7. Transfer cooked tortellini into the skillet with steak mixture, gently folding to integrate ingredients.
  8. Pour provolone cream sauce over tortellini and steak, carefully stirring to ensure complete coating.
  9. Reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing sauce to thicken and flavors to meld together.
  10. Remove from heat and plate immediately, optionally garnishing with freshly chopped parsley for added brightness.

Notes

  • Perfectly cook tortellini al dente to maintain a tender texture and prevent mushiness, ensuring each bite is delightfully chewy.
  • Slice steak against the grain for maximum tenderness, creating melt-in-your-mouth pieces that blend seamlessly with the creamy sauce.
  • Use high-quality provolone cheese for a rich, authentic flavor that elevates the entire dish’s complexity and depth.
  • Consider gluten-free tortellini options to make this recipe suitable for those with dietary restrictions, maintaining the same luxurious taste and creamy consistency.
